I love a book that feels like a warm hug! Since I spent most of 2021 reading Elin Hilderbrand books, reading and rereading these bonus chapters. I love getting to see what’s happened to some of my favorite characters!

I finished Summer of ‘69 and 28 Summers and was like ugh that’s it? I needed like one more chapter. She gave me literally exactly that in this book except I didn’t actually need one more chapter and I wasn’t a huge fan of them.

These stories were pretty lackluster. No depth of character and truly meaningless unless you were extremely familiar with the corresponding book. Even then I didn't see where these prequels/sequels added anything to the story.

This novel is for super fans of Elin Hildebrand as each chapter is a new prologue or extra chapter for some of her novels. The one I enjoyed most was the extra chapters of 28 summers. I know that any super fan will find this book to be amazing.

Liked the “idea” of this book closing up loose ends but in so many of the stories I had either forgotten the story or it had been too long to even remember the first ones. Some you didn’t need to know the original but with the last two 79 and 89 you did. So thankfully I did remember summer of 69 that those made sense.

A mix that didn't quite work...
It was fun to revisit some familiar characters, but I just didn't like the format of prequels, sequels, a novella, etc. It felt disjointed and pasted together.
But I needed a break from some serious nonfiction and this did the trick.
